Reid: Public will greet health care bill with 'joy and happiness'
Washington Examiner ^ | Byron York

Posted on 12/24/2009 5:55:38 AM PST by Def Conservative

In the final minutes of the Senate health care debate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said lawmakers would hear "an earful" about the national health care bill from constituents who are solidly opposed to the legislation. In response, Majority Leader Harry Reid cited the case of a young disabled boy in Nevada who Reid said will now have health coverage and said that Democrats will indeed hear an earful -- "an earful of joy and happiness."

"Yes, we'll hear an earful," Reid added, "but it will be an earful of wonderment and happiness."

The man is certifiably insane. Will no one step forward to have him committed and save the country? Where is the FBI, where is the CIA, where is the military? Where is the Supreme Court, where is the DOJ? Where is the rule of law?

Amen, and thanks for your unwavering attitude that these scoundrels, scalawags, traitors and tyrants have to be removed from office.

I know your holiday passed, so please accept my belated wishes for a Happy Chanukah, and I hope you and yours have a wonderful New Year.

Stay strong—we have our work cut out for us in 2010.

I am beginning to think that this guy isn’t planning on running for reelection.”

I live in Nevada & it is pretty obvious that Dirty Harry is planning on running in 2010.
He has been blanketing every station with expensive ads since early October- over a year before the elections.

There is considerable buzz here that he will finally get defeated, but he is a very crafty liar.

He derailed a strong Republican contender by getting him accused of mis-spending state money.
It was thrown out of court about a week ago, with the judge saying there wasn’t a single bit of evidence of wrong doing by the Republican.

But, the taint on him by Reid and his cohorts will surely derail any candidacy, IMO.

What Harry is not telling you is that disabled boy is on the list of the death panels.

The joy and happiness will commence on the day when Reid is soundly defeated for re-election, and leaves office in disgrace. Same for Pelosi and the rest of their Communist ilk.

Watching the post-vote interviews, I was struck by the fact that there were only "old white men" standing with (liar) Harry Reid and that they looked glum for most of the time. Schumer must have said something funny (I had the volume down by then) and they all laughed/smiled. As soon as I saw that, I knew that the attempt-to-deceiving AP and the rest of the DBM had their picture. Sure enough, the headline and the picture from AP has them all looking joyful.

When politicians wants to be seen, they don't do something at 7 a.m. Eastern time, 4 a.m. Pacific. Reid even had the nerve to say that Republicans made them vote on Christmas Eve. How can our country survive with the lying DBM covering for the lying Dems.....very frightening.
